The Philosophy Discussion Forum

God loves those who don't suffer through life. What a joke Christianity is. Nothing more than a tool of the ruling class. There's no justice in this world. Nothing will ever happen to the grifters and warmongers who f*** up the world for everyone else. It's a proven fact. Even Hitler spared himself from a humiliating trial. A bullet to his own head, and he's out of the game in a heartbeat, never to account for the millions of people who had a bullet in their heads after living in fear when the SS got hold of them.

Religion is a joke.

Well, there's a second thing that happens if a man's circumstances turn him into a megalomaniac... and this happens to a lot of psychos. You first pass through the decades of being 'angry at god', but then it suddenly dawns on you: what if there is a god only i was wrong about what it was. From where does this thought come. It comes by the megalomaniac projecting his own perfection and infalliblity onto the idea of god. He reasons, "I'm nearly perfect, and if there were a god, it would certainly have to endorse me or be an imbecile."

When and if you get to this stage, you break free from the agonizing panic and uncertainty all that other religious chatter creates in your mind. The psycho re-warriorizes Yaweh, so to speak, and in doing so no longer suffers indecision and dread.

If there was a god, how could it not be me, aksed Fritz. That's the stuff right there. When your own awesome sauce prevents you from accepting that there is no intelligent design and that you, this magnificent creature, are just some random meaningless event.

But then, if the psycho is wrong and that other god exists, the psycho is gonna indict em anyway (because look at what he's been through), so it doesn't matter that he's wrong. Either this god comes to his side, or it's dismissed altogether.

Wow, quoting from Ode on a Grecian Urn. You must be brilliant. I guess you're right. It's OK that Trump started a war through International terrorism. I'm just "ungrateful" for what I have. If I express gratitude then I'll be happier, to hell with those who are victims of Trump's bombing campaign. Those of us who have moral and ethical reservations about unprovoked war have "TDS". We're obvoiusly "deranged"? Why can't we get with the program and kill Iranians?

"But it sounds like a dungeon to me. Worse than my dungeon" (from another thread)

Naw because here's what always happened when they tried to pull some Dr. Phil shit: i would turn the punishment into a rebellion party and end up enjoying wherever they put me... which essentially backfired their plans. I give you exhibit A. I had so much fun in this place that i almost didn't wanna leave when the judge sent me back to the old man.

That's my room @ 3:17. Second floor third from right. Wtf dude, i just found this video. I am awash with nostalgia right now. Bro, i used to stand in that window at night and blink my green light on and off, and way across the grass over in Cherry building, my girlfriend would blink her light on and off. It was so romantic, man.

Ashby was the last phase of three, the third building, the least restrictive. No bars or screens on the windows, and you could get a yard pass without staff accompaniment. You start out in Williams building. The ol' thirty day evaluation to see if you're a psycho or just a misunderstood unambitious emo. If the former, you stay there, if the latter you graduate to Cherry building. Well, toward the end of the second year i was there, i was moved to Ashby building while my girlfriend stayed in Cherry... which meant we couldn't secretly rub hands during movie time in the Cherry building dayroom. The breakup was dreadful. Like on some Auschwitz level shit... being ripped apart and ushered into different gas cha... er, i mean shower rooms... and i never got to hang out with her again after that. But every other night or so, one of us would blink our light to say hi.

Now this one here.... this one was where the real pros were housed. We never went in there, but we'd pass it all the time on the way to McBride building for rec and canteen. You'd see the foggy silhouette of some guy in a gray gown at the window running his fingers up and down the glass or bobbing back 'n forth. Spooky shit for a fourteen year old, Gary.

Goddamn can you believe that, though? Drone footage of my old stomping grounds! That was MY ROOM, Gary. Look at what they did to it. They trashed it. Holy shit should i do a vlog and climb up in that bitch? I could do it at night. Bro, there's no windows. I drove through a few years ago, and unless they've torn it down, it's gotta be sitting there just like that.

If i could get into Cherry building i could get you some footage of the ceiling i fell through trying to escape like bro from The Breakfast Club.

Uh, Gary ... Ode On a Grecian Urn is about beauty and truth, not misery.
Too bad you didn't catch that.
TDS inspired the misery adaptation.

Taking it higher doesn’t necessarily apply to dudgeon.
You know. High dudgeon.

Please Gary, no questions, rhetorical or otherwise.
The meaning is well within your range of comprehension.
You just need to apply yourself.

If you don't understand my response and why I made it, then I'm sorry. Maybe you need to become less simplistic in thought.

How about this?

Miseryyyyy!

Optimism alone solves everything. No need to lift a finger to right what is wrong. Just look on the bright side of what is wrong and it won't be wrong anymore. Sheer genius.
